Scottish sale of fireworks ban to under-18s welcomed - Usdaw urges support for shopworkers who have to enforce it
07 October 2022
Retail trade union Usdaw welcomes new legislation to improve public safety by banning the supply of fireworks to under-18s in Scotland, which is set to come into force on 10 October. However, the union urges support for shopworkers who have to enforce the law, with age-restricted sales accounting for nearly one-fifth of incidents of violence, threats and abuse against shopworkers.
